One of the things that makes it really hard to dislike Trump all the time is the fact that the freakouts about Trump can sometimes be just as bad, if not worse, than some of the things he does.
Hollywood, in particular, is incredibly volatile when it comes to the subject of Trump, and they believe that his presidency is the root of all evil… or, at least, their personal problems. For example, take celebrity model, Lip Sync Battle hostess, and wife of singer John Legend, Chrissy Teigen.
so fucking tired of this manically insane, incompetent president and this dumpster fire administration I'm gonna have to go on another med

that is not a joke. I think I need to either up my dosage or talk to my doctor to "see what works for me" when the world explodes.

There is nothing that Trump has done that should cause anyone this much pain. He hasn’t enacted anything really nation-changing, and it seems more and more like a lot of the freakout is over the idea of Trump, rather than Trump himself.
Today I had a tooth shaved down because crippling anxiety makes me grind and rock my teeth on one side. I blame trump.

I also had Botox in my jaw muscle to relieve tension from constantly clinching. I was not like this before. Pay my bill, POS POTUS

This is incredibly frustrating, because meltdowns like this actually detract from the incredibly realistic concerns that people can have about the Trump Administration. This post isn’t a defense of Trump, mind you: I want him nowhere near the office he has gotten himself into, and which each day I grow more and more convinced that he is the luckiest SOB on the planet.
This post is, however, a critique of the Hollywood/extreme liberal meltdowns that happen on a near-daily basis because of the person sitting in the White House. This idea that Trump is going to end the world is nonsense, and the “crippling anxiety” is in no way his fault. The fault rests on those who peddle these insane ideas that TRUMP WILL NUKE US ALL TO HELL AND SELL US TO RUSSIA because it gets them attention.
If you’re buying into that nonsense, that’s not on Trump. You’re letting yourself get worked up over nothing.
